Haha! This is a hilarious thread!
This is from one check ride.
Checker: "Why did you ask the co-pilot if he is ready for take-off before commencing the take-off?!"
Me: "(Amazed) I thought it to be good CRM to make sure that we both are mentally prepared for this take-off"
Checker: "There is no such thing in SOP to ask the co-pilot about readiness for the take-off"
Me: Ok. (Cursing in my mind..)
The same checker asked about 100 nitpicking questions before a check. The crew only answered couple of questions wrong. The checker replied that this oral examination is not going too good.
